ABSTRACT

Abstract Aim: To investigate how the choices of young people for public or private spaces during their leisure practices, regardless of gender and age group, can be a starting point for the definition of agendas for the constitution of governmental public policies. Methods: The empirical task was accomplished through the application of electronic questionnaires to young university students from Portugal (20%), Brazil (70%), and South Africa (10%). The sample consisted of 705 randomly chosen young people, with an average age of 24 years. The data were analyzed using SPSS and content analysis. The analysis was divided into three categories: comprising the student's profile; referring to leisure and relating to the provision of leisure and space. Results: The youngest people choose the public spaces for their leisure practices and conceive leisure as a moment when they can do whatever they want, without obligations, followed by leisure as fun and free time. There is no difference between men and women in the concept of leisure. The main conclusions highlighted that leisure means to 'do what I want without any obligation to do so', followed by 'fun' and 'free time, and young people like to 'go out with friends, 'play sports' and 'do nothing'. The public space is the most used for leisure. Conclusion: The meaning of leisure is loaded with subjectivities, so we understand that the demands for political actions that enable the use of public spaces safely and with quality are the way to guarantee the rights of the population.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Apesar do crescente reconhecimento público da sua incompletude e da necessidade de a fazer dialogar com outros saberes, a biomedicina continua a figurar como metanarrativa, como modelo médico epistemologicamente superior, definidor e regulador do que se entende por "saber médico". É na persistência dessa representação de superioridade que reside um dos grandes obstáculos - senão mesmo o maior - à criação de uma efetiva ecologia de saberes no campo dos cuidados de saúde. Com base numa revisão da literatura sobre o tema, este artigo toma justamente por objetivo a desconstrução da versão essencialista da superioridade biomédica, evidenciando o modo como essa suposta superioridade é, na verdade, decorrente de um complexo quadro sociocultural de produção histórica. Assim, revisitando a literatura existente, o artigo desenvolve perspectiva condensada em torno dos principais pilares da construção do poder hegemónico da biomedicina no contexto da modernidade ocidental, a saber: (1) a ligação umbilical da biomedicina à ciência moderna e à sua trajetória de colonização; (2) o processo de anatomoclínica e o modo como, por esse processo, a biomedicina se estabeleceu como poder normativo/regulador, passando a auferir legitimidade e proteção por parte dos Estados; (3) a suposta maior eficácia da biomedicina no quadro de sua maior compatibilidade com os novos imperativos capitalistas; e (4) a constituição de forte movimento profissional biomédico e suas estratégias de fechamento na construção de sua hegemonia.


Abstract Despite the growing public recognition of its incompleteness and its need to make it dialog with other knowledges, biomedicine continues to figure as a metanarrative, as an epistemologically superior medical model, defining and regulating what is meant by "medical knowledge". One of the great obstacles - if not the greatest - to the creation of an effective ecology of knowledges in the field of health care lies in the persistence of this representation of superiority. Based on a review of the literature about the subject, this article aims precisely at deconstructing the essentialist version of biomedicine's superiority, showing how this supposed superiority results, in fact, from a complex sociocultural framework of historical production. In this sense, revisiting the existing literature, the article develops a condensed perspective around the main pillars of the construction of the hegemonic power of biomedicine in the context of Western modernity: (1) the umbilical connection of biomedicine to modern science and its colonization trajectory; (2) the anatomical-clinical process and how biomedicine established itself, through this process, as a normative/regulatory power, gaining legitimacy and protection by the States; (3) the alleged greater effectiveness of biomedicine in the context of its greater compatibility with the new capitalist imperatives; and (4) the constitution of a strong biomedical professional movement and its closing strategies in the construction of its hegemony.

ABSTRACT

To maximize the contribution of biological nitrogen fixation in common bean, it is necessary to use bacterial strains that are more adapted, competitive, and efficient in the symbiotic process. In this regard, the aim of this study was to evaluate the agronomic efficiency (AE) of three bacterial strains isolated from acid soils with high Al content from the Amazon region in an Argissolo Vermelho Distrófico típico soil (Typic Rhodustults - USDA Classification) from the municipality of Formiga, MG, Brazil. We compared their AE to that of the reference strain CIAT 899T and of two controls without inoculation (one without and another with 80 kg ha-1 of N-urea). The results indicated that inoculation with the strains UFLA 02-100 and UFLA 02-127 provides grain yield equivalent to inoculation with the reference strain and to the control with mineral N. Thus, both have potential for recommendation as inoculants for common bean.


Para maximizar a contribuição da fixação biológica de nitrogênio no feijoeiro-comum é necessária a utilização de estirpes de bactérias mais adaptadas, competitivas e eficientes no processo simbiótico. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se avaliar, em um Argissolo Vermelho Distrófico típico do município de Formiga-MG, a eficiência agronômica (EA) de três estirpes isoladas de solos ácidos e com alto teor de Al da Amazônia e comparar suas EA à da estirpe referência CIAT 899T e à de dois controles sem inoculação (um sem e outro com 80 kg ha-1 of N-ureia). Os resultados indicaram que a inoculação com as estirpes UFLA 02-100 e UFLA 02-127 propicia rendimento de grãos equivalente ao da estirpe referência e ao do controle com N mineral e que por isso, ambas têm potencial para ser recomendadas como inoculantes para o feijoeiro-comum.

ABSTRACT

Previous equivalence-class formation studies, with class-specific consequences, found inter-subject variability, probably due to loss of efficacy of the consequences as reinforcers. This study evaluated (a) the efficacy of introducing variations of events (within a category) as class-specific consequences and (b) the inclusion of these consequences into the equivalence classes. Two children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and with intellectual disabilities, were given identity matchingto-sample training (Set A - Sample A1, S+A1/S-A2 and Sample A2, S+A2/S-A1) and simple discrimination reversal training (Set B - S+B1/S-B2 and reversals). Two sets of assorted videos on the same theme plus two sets of assorted food items within the same category were used as class-specific consequences. The data show that the variety of elements was efficient to maintain reinforcement efficacy and encourage the use of similar procedures in the applied context. Both participants showed strong evidence of equivalence class formation, confirming the theoretical prediction regarding the inclusion of the class-specific consequences in the classes. The data confirm that equivalence relations can be found in three-term contingencies.


Estudos anteriores sobre a formação de classes de equivalência, com consequências específicas para as classes, apontaram variabilidade intersujeitos provavelmente devida a perda de eficácia das consequências como reforçadores. O presente estudo avaliou (a) a eficácia da introdução de variações de eventos (dentro de uma categoria) como consequências específicas das classes e (b) a inclusão de tais consequências nas classes. Duas crianças diagnosticadas com Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA), e com deficiência intelectual, foram submetidas a treino de emparelhamento ao modelo (Conjunto A - Modelo A1, S+A1/S-A2 e Modelo A2, S+A2/S-A1) e treino de reversões de discriminações simples (Conjunto B - S+B1/S-B2 e reversões). Dois conjuntos de vídeos variados de um mesmo tema e dois conjuntos de alimentos variados dentro de uma mesma categoria foram usados como consequências específicas. Os dados mostram que a variedade de elementos foi eficiente para manter a eficácia do reforçamento e encoraja o uso de procedimentos similares em contexto aplicado. Ambos os participantes mostraram forte evidência de formação de classes de equivalência, confirmando a predição teórica sobre a inclusão de consequências específicas nas classes. Os dados confirmam que relações de equivalência podem ser encontradas em contingências de três termos.


Estudios previos de formación de clases de equivalencia, con consecuencia específica de clase, encontraron variabilidad interindividual probablemente debido a la pérdida de eficacia de las consecuencias como reforzadores. Este estudio evaluó (a) la eficacia de la introducción de variaciones de eventos (dentro de una categoría) como consecuencias específicas de clase y (b) la inclusión de tales consecuencias en las clases de equivalencia. Dos niños diagnosticados con Trastorno del Espectro Autista y con discapacidad intelectual, recibieran entrenamiento de igualación de identidad a la muestra (Conjunto A - Muestra A1, S+A1/S-A1 y Muestra A2, S+A2/S-A1) y entrenamiento de inversión de la discriminación simple (Conjunto B - S+B1/S-B2 y inversiones). Se utilizaron dos conjuntos de vídeos diversos de un mismo tema, más dos conjuntos de alimentos diversos dentro de la misma categoría como consecuencias específicas de clase. Los datos muestran que la variedad de elementos fue eficiente para mantener la eficacia del refuerzo y fomentan el uso de procedimientos similares en contexto aplicado. Ambos los participantes mostraron una fuerte evidencia de la formación de clases de equivalencia, lo que confirma la predicción teórica sobre la inclusión de las consecuencias específicas de clase en las clases de equivalencia. Los datos confirman que las relaciones de equivalencia pueden ser encontradas en las contingencias de tres términos.

ABSTRACT

Permanent neonatal diabetes (PNDM) can result from activating heterozygous mutations in KCNJ11 gene, encoding the Kir6.2 subunit of the pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP). Sulfonylureas promote KATP closure and stimulate insulin secretion, being an alternative therapy in PNDM, instead of insulin. Male, 20 years old, diagnosed with diabetes at 3 months of age. The genetic study identified a novel heterozygous mutation in exon 1 of the KCNJ11 gene – KCNJ11:c1001G>7 (p.Gly334Val) – and confirmed the diagnosis of PNDM. Therefore it was attempted to switch from insulin therapy to sulfonylurea. During glibenclamide institution C-peptide levels increased, however the suboptimal glycemic control lead us to restart an intensive insulin scheme. This new variant of KCNJ11 mutation had a phenotypic lack of response to sulfonylurea therapy. Age, prior poor metabolic control and functional change of KATP channel induced by this specific mutation may explain the observed unsuccessful switch to sulfonylurea. Interestingly, C-peptide levels raise during glibenclamide administration support some degree of improvement in insulin secretory capacity induced by the treatment. Understanding the response to sulfonylurea is crucial as successful treatment may be life-changing in these patients.
